Who is “they” exactly? There’s a lot of confusion because “they” could be direct police reports or “they” could be rival media overeagerly reporting on leaks, or “they” could be bloggers reporting crap just because they ant clicks.

It would be better if people assembled timelines according to sources. The NY Times timeline... the police timeline... the AP timeline, etc...

Hmmm, interesting NYT comment about Campos' union in this updated timeline accounting for a 19 minute correction ...
Sheriff Joseph Lombardo of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police said the gunman, Stephen Paddock, had wounded the security guard, Jesus Campos, around 9:59 p.m. on Oct. 1. Minutes later, Mr. Paddock began raining bullets on the Route 91 Harvest Festival, where thousands of fans were watching the country musician Jason Aldean perform.

In its previous timeline, the police said that Mr. Campos told Las Vegas officers he had been shot at 10:18 p.m., about three minutes after the concert shooting ended. Last week, police leaders praised Mr. Campos as a “hero” who helped evacuate hotel guests at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino and aided the police in finding the gunman’s room.

Sheriff Lombardo said his department’s initial account was “not completely inaccurate,” and called the adjustments to the timeline “minute changes” that are common in a complex investigation. The sheriff said that Mr. Campos had been on the gunman’s floor to investigate a door alarm in another room and that after being wounded, Mr. Campos immediately told casino security officials he had been shot.

“But what we have learned is that Mr. Campos was encountered by the suspect prior to his shooting to the outside world,” Sheriff Lombardo said at a news conference on Monday, his department’s first update on the investigation in three days.

Sheriff Lombardo also said that Mr. Campos, after being shot, helped protect a maintenance worker from being injured. The sheriff would not say whether he thought the presence of Mr. Campos accelerated or affected Mr. Paddock’s shooting plot.

“I would not make that assumption,” Sheriff Lombardo said.

The president of Mr. Campos’s union did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Monday evening.
